1. Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior; and on the profession of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we do now in the presence of God, and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another, as one body in Christ.
2. We engage therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in Christian love; To strive for the advancement of this church in knowledge and holiness, and comfort; To promote its prosperity and spirituality; To sustain its worship, ordinances discipline and doctrine; To contribute cheerfully and regularly, to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and world-wide mission of the church.
3. We aspire to be a fellowship of the concerned, where the lost may find Jesus Christ, sinners may seek pardon, and seekers are welcome. We shall seek to be obedient to Christ in our daily living and we shall strive for attitudes and actions which will reflect GodÂ’s Spirit working through us.
4. Believing that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, we shall endeavor to avoid experiences and habits which defile the body and hinder our witness.
5. We engage to maintain family and private devotion; to teach our children the Christian truths; to seek the salvation of our family and acquaintances; To be just in our dealings, faithful in our engagements, exemplary in our conduct; and to be zealous in our efforts to advance the kingdom of our Savior.
6. We further agree to watch over one another in brotherly love; to remember each other in prayer; to aid each other in sickness and distress. To cultivate Christian sympathy in feelings and courtesy in speech; To be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation, and mindful of the rules of our Savior, to secure it, without delay.
7. We also engage that, when we move from this place, we will as soon as possible unite with some other Church where we can carry out the spirit of this Covenant and the principles of God's Word.
We exist to worship God, study the Scriptures, care for one another and to proclaim the Gospel.
